Loading the CF7 CSS and JS only on relevant pages.

I figured it out. I was mistakenly putting the define('WPCF7_LOAD_JS', false); in functions.php instead of wp-config.php. Once I moved it to the config file, it worked as intended.

Still no luck for me. I’ve added define('WPCF7_LOAD_JS', false); in wp-config and then added the enqueue php in the header of my contact page template (above wp_head) yet it has no effect. All the JS and CSS files load across the site.

After a few searches thought I’d try adding the following to header.php:

<?php
	if ( (!is_page('Contact')) && (function_exists( 'wpcf7_enqueue_scripts' )) ) {
		wpcf7_dequeue_scripts();
		wpcf7_dequeue_styles();
	}
?>

But no joy. No content loads.

Okay I have sussed it. The position of…

define('WPCF7_LOAD_JS', false);
define('WPCF7_LOAD_CSS', false);

…within wp-config.php is critical. I originally pasted it in at the bottom of the code and it had no effect.

I moved it to sit directly under define('WPLANG', ''); and it works just fine.

To be fair to Takayuki Miyoshi he does say on this page that “your lines must be placed before the last line“. I read that as “if I leave comments on the last line and put the code above it will work”. It didn’t.

Hope this helps someone else.
